At Dr. Verma’s Dental Surgery Clinic, we provide advanced preventive dental care through pit and fissure sealants. These are an excellent way to protect the molars and premolars from decay, especially in children and teens.

What are Pit and Fissure Sealants?

These are thin protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth, where deep grooves are more likely to trap food and bacteria. The sealants act as a barrier, keeping out decay-causing particles and bacteria.

Benefits of Pit and Fissure Sealants

1. Prevents Tooth Decay: Blocks food and plaque from entering tiny pits and grooves.

2. Ideal for Children: Especially effective after the first and second permanent molars erupt.

3. Non-invasive & Quick: Application is fast, painless, and doesn't require drilling.

4. Cost-Effective: Helps avoid future expensive treatments like fillings or root canals.

The Sealant Application Process

1. Tooth Cleaning: The dentist will clean and dry the target teeth.

2. Etching: A special gel is applied to roughen the surface for better bonding.

3. Sealant Application: The liquid resin is applied to the grooves.

4. Curing: A special light hardens the sealant in seconds.

5. Final Check: The dentist ensures proper coverage and bite comfort.
